I'm not gonna pretend I know much about my home land, Palestine
heck I have never stepped on its rich soil, that people have fought for it for centuries
That have lost their lives, there loved ones and their homes.
Welcome to ‘Israel’,
Where the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians is trivial,
And kidnapping, killing and torture is seen convivial.
Hey! This is a poem that I wrote describing the unfair economic system in America and how I feel being a woman of color in the USA and the daughter of refugees.
To See and Not be Able to Do
Every time I encounter the News,
Yes the News
Will it ever end,
Seeing the death of my Palestinian friends,
Will it ever end,
Seeing the terrorists bomb and kill with no repercussions,
No consequences, just governmental corruption,
Listen now, youngest of us.
On the edge of ruin, I am wiser
And perhaps, you shall be as well.
A crimson silk carpet runs beneath
The house, unmoving and unwavering.
Occupiers hold on with iron grips
Thoughtless deeds, humanity is on freeze
Women, children cry out of soundless lips
In the world you live,
there are villains,
There are villains who call themselves heroes,
they're given your rejection,
attempting to eclipse the shining truth with deception,
Free Palestine!

Metalic rain
erase the smell of life.
Alien fire
Bombs
Bullets
Death.
